20 clubs with the highest average attendance in world football (2024/25)

There’s a saying in soccer that feels like a cliché, but it’s actually more valuable than some people often give it credit for. That’s the idea behind “The 12th Man.” This proverb refers to the strength that home supporters can give to a team as they lead them to victory while drowning out the songs of the opposing away side.

It may sound superficial, but former and current players will tell you just how much noise in the stands can help motivate players and instill fear in their opponents. Although this is not always the case, it is logical to think that the more “12th men” there are, the better. And for these 20 clubs around the world, they have the advantage of filling stadiums more than any other club, which in theory should work to their advantage. GIVEMESPORT presents the 20 clubs with the highest average attendance for the 2024/25 season so far, so find out more.

20-16

Benfica, Hamburger SV, Flamengo, Eintracht Frankfurt, Tottenham Hotspur

Last on the list is the kick-off of Portugal’s most famous team, Benfica, which has a rich soccer tradition. Although the quality of the team may pale in comparison to the days of the legendary Eusebio, more than 54,000 people continue to pack into the Estadio do Benfica. Hamburger SV are in 19th place, followed by one of two teams that do not even play in the first division of their respective league.

Away from Europe, you’ll find Flamengo as the only team from Brazil, and one of two South American teams. They are helped by the fact that they play in the country’s most famous arena, the Maracanã, voted by AI as the most famous stadium in the world.

Omar Marmouche’s performances this season have drawn fans to Frankfurt to watch his genius play, with Tottenham Hotspur rounding out the bottom five and supporters enjoying one of the most modern stadiums in today’s game. Enjoying the joy of experiencing it.

15-11

VfB Stuttgart, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Liverpool, Schalke 04

VfB Stuttgart, who returned to Germany in 15th place, are next up. Sebastian Hoeneß’s team remain in 10th place in the Bundesliga despite finishing second behind Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen, who were undefeated in their last match.

Only 118 supporters separate 14th and 12th place, and all three teams in the discussion happen to be the three biggest teams in Europe. Arsenal may be home to the Premier League’s most expensive season tickets, but they still attract more than 60,000 people to the Emirates on match days. The same goes for Atlético Madrid and Liverpool, who just missed out on the top half of the table.

It is surprising once again that this is also a German team, as the 11th place is the second and last team to not be able to play in their home country’s top tier, and Schalke 04 continue to be supported through the most difficult period. isn’t it. The seven-time Bundesliga champions have spent three of the past four seasons in Bundesliga 2, and are languishing in 13th place at the time of writing.

10-6

AS Roma, West Ham United, Marseille, Real Madrid, AC Milan

Thanks to the Stadio Olimpico, it enters the top 10 as the closest thing to the old Colosseum. While there may not be the kind of violence seen in the Italian capital’s arenas during the Roman Empire, Roma fans still bring the same fighting spirit to every game, helping their team break out of a Serie A title drought. I keep waiting.

West Ham finished ninth after moving from the former Olympic Stadium to another stadium. Many believe that the London Stadium lacks the heart and soul of the old Upton Park, which made it very difficult to play in, but it also encouraged more people to come to the stands. It is true that I am now able to enter. Marseille, coached by Roberto De Zerbi, follow suit and are known for having an incredibly passionate fan base.

Due to construction at the Santiago Bernabéu, Real Madrid’s attendance will be slightly lower than usual. The last team to narrowly miss out on breaking into the top five is seven-time European champions AC Milan. San Siro can fill more than the Rossoneri’s average of 67,649, although the fact that the red and black teams are not as strong as they once were may have something to do with why they are not in the top five. One team said: Located in the same city.

5-1

River Plate, Inter Milan, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund

On my second trip to South America, I went to Estadio Mas Monumental. Argentine giants River Plate pack an average of 68,485 people every time they are at home. Inter Milan then welcomes almost 3,000 more supporters every match when their local rivals are at home, compared to when their local rivals are at home, and the legendary San Siro welcomes even more fans. He has proven he can hold the game.

Things may not have been going well for Manchester United overall these days, but at times supporters have flocked to the Theater of Dreams to show their support for manager Ruben Amorim’s side. How long Old Trafford will remain in place remains to be seen amid discussions of a brand new stadium.

The top two teams will return to Germany, but the country’s most powerful team, Bayern Munich, fell just short of second place. They were beaten by the only club with an average attendance of more than 80,000, and that is none other than the Yellow Wall itself, Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund are known for having one of the best atmospheres in Europe, and when you combine their passionate fans and the huge numbers at Signal Iduna Park, it’s no wonder why Dortmund have such a reputation. there is no.
